Chapter 33
Guo Xinyis comment caused a couple of people in the hall to quietly snicker while the rest watched on with amusement.
Hmph! Huang Yi didnt retort.
He held his head high and his eyes remain sharp and arrogant. He may have lost to Xiao Yueyin once before, but he was confident he will stand above her one day.
The people in the hall nodded with some admiration. Huang Yi did not let his defeat hinder him but rather, became motivated by it instead.
Although he can be snobby and overbearing, he isnt a bad person at heart. He is merely proud, and he has the right to be so! Who in this hall wasnt? They are all geniuses of their respective Sects.
"Senior Lin, everyone has arrived. Earlier, you mentioned there was something you wished to tell us? Said a man in a red robe. He had an ordinary appearance and looked like he was in his thirties but he had a calm aura that would make anyone feel at peace. This man was Elder Chen of the Serene Yang Sect!
Seeing that everyone has directed their attention towards him, the burly man on the white marble throne nodded.
A couple of days ago, I felt a terrifying pressure on the rooftop of the East Solitude Inn. I've tried to investigate it but when I arrived, it had disappeared.
A questioning look appeared on everyones face.
Senior Lin, you couldnt find the source?
The burly man shook his head and said nothing more. The others didnt find his behavior unusual, they were aware that he was a man of few words.

They speculated for a while but since the information was too little, they didnt have much to go on.
Is it.. perhaps them? A man sitting in front of Guo Xinyi asked. He had a youthful face and wore a clean white robe.
Impossible! Chang Wuli, the formation is being guarded by the Arcane Mountain. They cant cross over undetected. Said Elder Chen.
That is true, but the Sects have discussed this before. There is a chance that a few of them were left behind.
Huang Yi sneered, My Sacred Way Sect hunted all of them down in the Sacred region three hundred years ago.
The others nodded.
The Blue Moon Sect has also hunted all those left behind in the Blue region. Said a man in a blue robe, an image of a crescent moon hung on the middle of his forehead.
A middle-aged woman in a light pink dress nodded, she said, As did the Score Note Sect in the Score region.
My Beast Call Sect as well! They do not exist in the Beast region! Shouted a man with wild hair and an unkempt beard.
There are none of them in the Dreamless region. A voice also joined in. An ordinary person would have been confused, no one spoke but a voice can be heard. Of course, everyone in the hall knew that the voice came from the gentle-looking man with his eyes closed.
Guo Xinyi and Elder Chen also spoke up for their respective Sects. Chang Wuli saw glances in his direction and he sighed, he also had to speak up and confirm the Grand Sword Sect had cleared their region as well.

Hei Ying?
All eyes moved to a woman dressed in an all-black outfit. She was sitting in her chair quietly with her head down, if one didnt pay attention they wouldnt even notice her presence.
She didnt respond and remained still causing some people to frown. Huang Yi was about to say something but she suddenly spoke in a weak, quiet voice.
All of you are fools, with how big the Mortal Desolate World is, can any of you really claim that your Sect has successfully hunted all of them down? Even your Sect Masters wouldnt dare say such a thing.
You! Huang Yi shouted.
The others also felt offended.
Just as an argument was about to erupt, Xiao Yueyin spoke up, Enough, the matter at East Solitude Inn is not related to them, there is no need to worry about it.
The hall settled down hearing Xiao Yueyin and even the man on the throne had a surprised expression, they glance at one another and the man from the Beast Call Sect asked, Miss Xiao, what do you know about the matter?
Guo Xinyi also looked at her friend, feeling confused. The matter at the inn seemed to happen before Xiao Yueyin arrived at Solitude City, how does she know the cause of it?
Xiao Yueyin shook her head, I cannot say.
The moment she heard Senior Lin mention the East Solitude Inn, she immediately guessed it was probably Xia Lihua who released the pressure. Although she wasnt sure what caused Xia Lihua to do this, she can only wait to ask her later. Though she may not get an answer.
Seeing that Xiao Yueyin did not wish to explain, the others can only hold in their curiosity. They gave Hei Ying an angry glance and then ignored her, proceeding to talk about other various matters.
During their conversation, they didn't even mention the All Desolate Competition. To them, the competition was not all that important. It was merely an event to attract talent and provide some competition for their disciples.
The ranking in the competition also wasnt much of a concern to them. In terms of strength, excluding the Arcane Mountain, there was little difference among the nine Sects, they all have won first place before. The public is also somewhat aware of this, which is why their decision to join a top sect is more based on preference.
The event that happened over three hundred years ago has caused tremendous damage to the ten sects foundation and to this day, theyre still trying to recover from it.
Incidentally, this allowed the Mortal Desolate World to have a long period of peace, with the top ten Sects quietly watching over their own region and not fighting each other.
